A display apparatus which is also able to receive and identify fingerprints comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a plurality of dummy pixel units located in a non-display region, a fingerprint identification module, and a plurality of data extending lines. Each of the dummy units comprises first and second auxiliary electrodes. The fingerprint identification module comprises signal transmitting layer and signal receiving components on the signal transmitting layer. The signal receiving component receives reflected ultrasonic wave and converts the received waves into fingerprint signal. The data extending line is electrically connected with the dummy pixel unit. The signal receiving component transmits the fingerprint signals to the at least one first auxiliary electrode and the data extending line thus receives the fingerprint signal.
